NICE announce public meeting for Ruxolitinib technology appraisal
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) have this week released the registration facility for the committee meeting for the above appraisal, to be held on 11 January 2024. The meeting will be held virtually, using Zoom, a secure web conferencing tool.
Why is this meeting important?
NICE use the single technology appraisal process for new technologies – usually new pharmaceutical products or licence extensions for existing products. This process enables them to produce guidance soon after the technology is introduced in the UK and the process is key to make decisions about whether a product is approved for use through the NHS.
The link to register directly on Zoom is available on this page: https://www.nice.org.uk/event/TACD-jan-2024
This meeting is a hugely important step for those in our community seeking to gain more treatment options for the management of vitiligo.
